As usual, the 2012 college basketball off-season
features a never-ending parade of coaching changes. Some moves make sense,
others are questionable, while others are simply head-scratchers. Thanks to
collegesportsinfo.com, where a lot of this info was gleaned from. Also,
apologies if all the colors give you a headache!

In the latest installment in his "Coaching Greats" interview series CHN writer Jon Teitel spent some time talking about the career of late SMU head coach E.O. "Doc" Hayes with Gerry York, head of the SMU Heritage Hall Museum. In twenty seasons at SMU Coach Hayes won 299 games and led the Mustangs to eight conference titles and six NCAA Tournament appearances.

Jon Teitel: Elmore Onslow Hayes went by the nickname "Doc" or "Little Doc". How did he get the nickname, and how did he like it?

IRVING, Texas - Players from five different schools are represented on the 2010 All-Conference USA men's basketball first-team, featuring three repeat all-conference selections and two newcomers. Seniors Aubrey Coleman of Houston and Ben Uzoh of Tulsa are joined by juniors Elijah Millsap of UAB and Randy Culpepper of UTEP, along with sophomore Elliot Williams of Memphis. All five players are guards. Voting on the awards was done by the C-USA head coaches and media members in each conference city.

With Memphis in flux following the departure
of John Calipari, this might be the year someone like Tulsa, Houston, or UTEP
breaks through. The other contenders better act quickly as Memphis has locked up
a monster recruiting class next year..
